First, I hope you know that my comment about Deb's writers being so good because of being in my class was complete sarcasm.
Second, I was excited to hear Deb's presentation today because even though we teach in the same building we don't get the opportunity to see each other in action. (I'm sure many of you feel the same way.) I really appreciate the discovery aspect of the lesson and am motivated to take some of this approach with some of my writing projects. Not only did Deb motivate me, but I also learned a lot about Belpre - information that I can now steal and teach my kids before they get to her!

Shoot Robin, didn't I tell you I'm taking the fourth graders too?
ReplyDeleteReally great lesson. I loved the blend of history, technology, discovery, botany,writing, and everything else that tied in to this lesson.
ReplyDeleteI just love the discovery aspect of this lesson/unit. What a great example of 'the process' and W2L!
